Enhanced 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter

2 Hardware Description

Product Overview

The Converter is enhanced with Link Fault Signaling (LFS) and Loopback Test (LBK) functions to offer the most comprehensive network status monitoring and connection diagnostics. It is designed for large workgroups who demand higher speed and wider bandwidth. It allows migration and expansion from a copper-based Ethernet to a fiber optic Fast Ethernet.

It features automatic MDI detection setting. This function allows for simple direct connection to a workstation, switch or hub. Therefore, network managers no longer need to worry about cable type configuration when establishing a connection between

fiber and up to 60 kilometers for long-haul single mode fiber between a LAN switch, file server or another networking device.

RJ-45 ports. This Converter is equipped with an RJ-45 port and a

fiber optic ST or SC or WDM port. This allows it to quickly integrate a 10/100Base-TX network into a 100Base-FX (fiber) network. It features DIP switches for manual half or full duplex mode configuration on both copper and fiber ports. In full duplex mode, this Converter has the ability to support distances of up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode

3 Installation

To install your Converter, please see the following procedures:

• Location

Enhanced 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter

DIP Switches

DIP 1 – Enables / disables auto-negotiation (RJ-45) DIP 2 – Copper port (RJ-45) duplex mode: full or half-

duplex

• Switch Settings

• NWay settings

• Link Fault Signaling

• Loopback Test

• Install the Converter

Location

The location selected to install the Converter may greatly affect its performance. When selecting a site, we recommend considering the following rules:

• Install the Converter in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

• Install the Converter in a location free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

• Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of

DIP 3 – Copper port (RJ-45) data bit rate: 10Mbps or 100Mbps

DIP 4 – Fiber port duplex mode: full duplex or halfduplex

DIP 5 – Enables / disables Link Fault Signaling (LFS) DIP 6 – Enables / disables Local Loop Back (LLB) DIP7 – Enables / disables Remote Loop Back (RLB)

the unit for ventilation.

• Affix the provided rubber pads to the bottom of the Converter to protect the case from scratching.
